Donna Fullman Indie Folk songstress

Based in the sunniest spot of the United Kingdom, lives independent singer songwriter Donna Fullman. Quietly penning songs for her next release: a full length album ‘Inner World’ which follows her debut recordings on the 5 track EP ‘Happiness + Victory’.

Whilst working as a Graphic Designer she honed her writing skills developing personal accounts of prose, poetry and lyrics.

With only vocal melody to lean on she was urged to find her instrument, reluctantly picking up the guitar. She continued to develop her voice and guitar playing whilst resisting performing for many years.

In 2004 she applied to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music to study Songwriting and was offered a place based purely on the lyrics she presented.

“I still prefer to use vocal melody. It’s more honest”.
Donna Fullman discussing her writing techniques in September 2010.

She graduated with distinction, a few ‘bedroom’ recordings and new band members in tow, collectively hitting the gigging circuit of London and the South.

“I quickly had to accept that performing was vital to getting my music out there. To connect. Which is at the heart of everything I do”

Donna Fullman was born in Brick Lane, East London in the seventies. Her family moved out to Essex where Donna grew up before returning to London to study Art and Design. Her career in design flew but left her dissatisfied and searching for more fulfilment. She moved to the stony beach of Brighton and has been residing there for 10 years.

Consistently gigging and writing she is currently recording new tracks which will form the second release on her own label: Lyrically Speaking. The album ‘Inner World’ will feature solo performances plus collaborations, all boasting the same atmospheric and lyrical style that is her own.

With growing interest in the United States, Donna has enjoyed extensive airplay from New Jersey to LA and plans to tour New England next September with the help of US Agent LadyLake.
